rlhis invention relates to non-explosive oil cans, and the objects of myinvention ure to provide the spout of a con with simple and effectivemeans tor preventing u. flume, sparks or ignition metter 'from enteringthe spout and setting tire to or detonatingf thel contents ofA thecan,and to provide e spout that can be used in vconnection with varioustypes of oil receptacles.

Further objects oi this provide the spout of e con with novel ineensfornormelly maintaining the seme in o closed position, thus preventinggases -@ind fumes from escaping from the con, and to uccomplish theshove results by o. construc- .tion that is simple, durable Aundinexpensive to munuiecture. y

These and such other objects es moy hereinafter appear are atteined bythe novel construction, combination and errengement of parte that willbe hereinafter described in detail and then claimed, und reference ivillnow be had to the' drawing forming :i port of this specification,wherein there is illustrated a preferred embodiment ot my invention, hutthe structurel elements thereof are susceptible to changes, variationsend. modifications without departing' from the spirit ot the invention.

ln the drawing: Figure l is a side eleva.- tion oi an oil receptacle,partly broken away und partly in section, Fig. 2 is en enlarged plan ofthe upper end of the spout oli the receptacle, und Fig. 3 is similarviev.7 with the vulve of the spout removed. o

ln the accompanying drawing, the reference numeral l'denotes, by the Wayof exemple., en oil can having e. bail 2, u bottoni hond grip 3, und frdetachable cup 4. ylhe een l adjacent to the hottom thereof is providedwith un upwardly extending spout 5 which is enteriorly screvxr threaded,es et G invention ere toy to 'receive e. curved mouth piece 7, saidmouth piece being screwed. upon the spout 5.

'The inner Wells olfL the spout 5 et the upper end thereof are providedwith two ennulur horizontal inwardly projecting ribs 8v und i), theformer providing en annuler seat for o.. wire screen or piece oit gauzel0, vvhile the letter forms u. seat for e circuler valve :idepted toclose the upper end of the spout 5.A The vulve comprises e circulerplete or disk l1 having beveled edges adapted to snugly tit against therib 9. The plete -11 is provided with en integral stem 12 locatedcentrally of seid plate and extending to one edge thereof Where the stemis pivotnlly connected by u pin i3 to e, bifurcutnd lug 14 carried bythe upper edge of the spout 5, the stem 12. fitting in the bifurcationof seid lug.

rlhe wire screen or piece of gauze l0 een beeesily bent und placedbetween the ribs l8 and t), these ribs confining the piece of wiregauze, which prevents smell particles of matter und even n flume fromentering the spout 5, also serving tostrein the oil or liquid containedwithin the can l when.

poured troni the spout.,

The valve oit the spout is adapted to swing open when the.cun is tiltedund allow the contents thereof to pass out, the vulve immediatelyclosing when the een is placed in Van upright position, as shown in Fig.1.

is the diameter of the valve is considera-bly lessthun the diameter ofthe mouth piece 7, seid valve een easily open and close. This vulve asheretofore stated prevents gases 'from escaping from the con, alsopreventing metter from entering 'the spout When the een is not in use. i

Having novv described my invention what l claim es new, is o ln n.nonexplosive 'oil can, the combine* tion with a can., of e spout carriedthereby and communicating with the interior of said can, n curved mouthpiece adapted to screw upon the upper end of said spout, horizon telinwardly projecting annuler ribs carried by the inner side Walls ot'seid spout adje cent to the upper end thereof, e screen adapted to besupported by one ot' seid ribs, e circular vulve ot' e. less diuinetcrthun-seid spout adapted to' sont upon the other of said ribs, s 'stemcarried centrally ot said valve too and projecting toward one sidethereof, and In testimony whereof I :lxmy sgnnhn'e a? aperture lugcsrretd oy the lpor end in the presence of two witnesses.
